Mugen paint test : B&W and colour

A couple of Jin pictures
Two natural media pics done on Bristol while at conventions last month. I don't really like how either of these turned out, but other folks seemed to be OK with them. 06/2006. |
![Thank You, Zantetsuken](jandmforzan-th.gif) |
![Thank You, Kyuketsuki](jandmforkyu-th.gif) |
Thank you to Zan & Kyu
Pieces done as a thank-you to the folks behind Amalgam, who are also the co-admins at the Swords & Sunflowers forum. I asked them what they would like me to draw:
Zan asked for "anything with Jin and Mugen," and... this came out of nowhere, with some assistance from K's Choice's song "Breakfast".
Kyu asked for "a Jin & Mugen hug." I couldn't quite imagine those two (intentionally) hugging, so this was the result.
India ink, gouache, and Prismacolor & Copic marker on 9x12 80lb vellum Bristol.
06/2006. |
![5 NINAs, count 'em](linetrioth.gif) |
Trio In Lines
Al Hirschfeld is one of my art idols, and every so often I try to draw something in his style. It's harder to do with cartoon characters than with real people. I wish I'd squished Mugen's face more. |
![holy crap, yet more Jin](jinforryukk009th.gif) |
Jin, again
I really like drawing the little bits of hair on the side of his face. And his ponytail. I could just draw that hair all day. (Spike Spiegel syndrome?) This was a gift for ryu_kk009 because she is rad. |
![SPF 75](spf75th.gif) |
The Perils of Ghostly Pale Skin
I'm probably just projecting, here... |
![Oh, good lord.](thanks2222th.gif) |
2222 Hits!
Thanks to everyone who has visited! Please forgive (yet another) parody... |
![Oh, good lord.](mugenvhammerth.gif) |
Uh-oh, uh-oh
This was a very ... silly request from TheDwaine, but I laughed the whole time and had a lot of fun drawing it. India ink, Prismacolor markers, white gouache on vellum Bristol. |
![Current top inks](hsms-th.gif) |
February Top Image Inks
Inks for the top picture. Pigma and Staedtler pens over non-photo blue Col-Erase pencil. Drawn from a quick doodle of the parodied image, so some things are off. Maybe I should scan one of these without dropping out the blue channel so you can see how messy my drawings really are... |
![Jin](jinnyjinjinth.gif) |
Jin
I was messing around with the #102 Crowquill nib when I drew this. Shading is mostly Prismacolour French Gray markers. February 2006. |
![Mugen (colour)](mugen-sweatyth.gif) |
Mugen
Mugen's sort of a sweaty, dirty guy. I imagine it gets pretty hot if you're constantly walking all over Japan and stuff. Anyway, doodled this in Painter 9 one summer afternoon. July 2005. |
![Jin & Mugen](mugenjinth.gif) |
Jin & Mugen
I like how Jin and Mugen's postures and movements are so different in the animation. Really indicative of their personalities.
Drawn in... July 2005 (I think.) |
